Surfing in Firefox with tabs, if you take the cursor to the tabs, and scroll the wheel… you can move between the tabs! Very cool…

Still Opera has me owned with rightclick and scroll mouse gesture to move between tabs…

    This may be me-specific, but I love how I can open a link in a new tab by clicking with the scroll-wheel/middle button. It’s simple and it spares me have to right-click and go thru a menu.

    While the middle-click option in Firefox is nice, it still doesn’t compared with Opera’s “single window” set up. After having used Opera as my default browser for over a year, and now having switched to Firefox for basically all my Web surfing activities, Opera’s “single window” set up is the one thing I miss most about it.

    You can have the right-click and scroll functionality in Firefox when the All-in-One Gestures extension is installed. It works great. The extensions are one of the best things about Firefox

    The more I hear about Firefox, the more I consider changing over to it. It seems like I only hear good things about it.

    LOVE FireFox!!!

    Using MS Intellipoint Mouse, installed JAVA RunTime and all of a sudden I have lost the wheel to the mouse across ALL platforms.

    Wassup with that? Can’t fix or find a fix. HELP!!!!!

    If you use the All-In-One Gestures extension, you can right-click-scroll -up to cycle between tabs, right-click-scroll-down for history list…

    I’ve been on IE for so long simply cause it was neat - all in windows, Used media player, Windows firewall etc… WHAT A FOOL!!! This is superb! I would buy this if it were for sale!

    There is a way to use single window mode in Firefox.
    In the address bar, type about:config and scroll down to
    browser.link.open_newwindow, double-click that, and in the box that pop-ups type in 3.
